Am currently sick with a bad throat. While enjoying my cup of coffee, I had the thought; “Should I avoid coffee if I have a bad throat?”. So, are there any studies or general consensus on this?

    I haven’t seen an impact when I have a sore throat, but I’ve read coffee is a natural expectorant, so I make sure to drink it when I’ve got chest congestion.

    But, to be honest, I’m always drinking it so who knows if it’s helpful.
